Student

“Touring the Museum of American Finance and the Federal Reserve helped give context and background. Lots of AHA moments as to what and why I need to take charge of my finances – specifically understanding compound interest!”

“Being able to have experienced women of all ages guide us by answering our questions helped bring the experience alive. I didn’t think I’d be so engaged in what initially I thought was a finance class but each week I grew more interested because the whole program was personalized to me!”

Parent

“Overbooked school schedules left me wondering how I could ensure my daughters would be able to understand how to handle their finances as they head off to college in the fall. Fortunately, they were able to participate in a pilot program tailored to their specific needs, answering their questions and participating in lots field trips with guest speakers who work in their field of expertise in and around financial literacy. A bonus is the networking connections they made that will be there for them during and after college.”
